Bharti Airtel to Transition from 3G to 4G Network By Refarming 2100MHz Spectrum in Nine Circles

Major telecom operator, Bharti Airtel has started the process of re-farming spectrum for using it in the 4G network. The airwaves which Bharti Airtel will be reused for the 4G network, thus transitioning from 3G, will be in the 2100MHz band. Also, currently, the telecom operator has reformed the spectrum in 9 circles and plans to transition from 3G to 4G network in these regions slowly. According to an ET Telecom report, the telco is also aware of the declining base of 3G handset owners and thus wants to upgrade subscribers to the 4G network rapidly. The move will also be positive from the respect of 4G capacity as the telco will be in a better position to provide comparable speeds to Reliance Jio which started its operations with 4G in India right off the bat.
